@2. My oem replacement headlights I got for my hatch didn't fit 100% normal when I got them put on but I tended not to care because they were a hell-of-a-lot better than the ugly a$$ halo/projector housing ones that were on it. They were form ebay too though so idk if thats the reason or not. Also, you don't have high beams with those headlights? Isn't that like, not safe? Or do you not have to worry about that where you live?

I think i can live with the fit od the passanger side... but the driver side is off *hood actually comes over it a bit) But im going to pull the bumper off again this week and see if i can streighten it out....

I dont know if its my imagination or not... but after i put on the CAI, it seems to creep up speed wise worse than before (im prolly just not used to it) but this really makes me want to fix the cruse control. I have no horn, no cruse and a SRS light, so i imagin that the "clock spring" is broken... where can i get one? autopart stores dont seems to have it for the car, unless its called something else. Junkyards arnt an option, no civics

Clock spring AKA cable reel. Junk yard is the cheapest.

[edit] oh, no civics. Eh, ... www.hondaautomotiveparts.com ?

quick update... got the bought the reel off someone on honda-tech.... ordered a new seatbelt buckle (the part thats attached to the seat) last week, it came in and got that swapped out...

While i was up there, i talked to one of the techs about my tranny, took it for a test drive and looked at the fluid... said the fluid was fairly dirty but didnt smell burnt... suggested a drain and fill to help with the hard shifts. How many quarts should i pick up and whats the best way to go about doing it? Id rather not pick up too much, seeing how its $8 a quart here.

Tranny takes like 1.8 qts or something, it is under 2, fill until it comes out the fill plug.

And you didn't need to buy a new seat belt. Honda (actually, all auto makers) have lifetime warranties on seat belts. As long as it isn't tampered with, they have to fix it.

Just makign sure, but you know its an auto? im fairly sure it doesnt have a fill plug.

I know they do. But its looks liek the PO tryed to fix it (button stuck down) so it voided the warranty....
